Chimney and duct cleaning in West New York, NJ
West New York stacks 21,736 homes onto the Palisades, and 64.6 percent of them are in buildings of five or more units. Almost a quarter are in buildings of fifty or more.
In brief
In West New York we inspect and clean the shared boiler flues and chimneys of apartment buildings, and we clear the dryer vents in them.
Tall buildings along the cliff
Along Boulevard East and the blocks behind it, West New York is mostly apartment buildings, from walk-ups to high-rises. A walk-up usually has one boiler and a masonry chimney to the roof, and those chimneys need the same yearly inspection as a house, only taller. The high-rises vent differently, often through metal stacks or rooftop equipment, and many units there heat with electricity. Across the town, the work that comes up most for individual residents is the dryer vent, since laundry in apartments often vents through long runs or into shared chases. About 56 percent of the housing was built before 1970.

Reviews from our Google listing
A selection of our 5-star reviews on Google.
A hundred years of lime mortar requires a careful, low-RPM touch, and that antique sensibility was obvious in the preservation-grade sweeping of our 1910 hearth.
Soot was cleaned from the flue lining with non-abrasive polymer heads, leaving the critical structural integrity of the ceramic glaze undamaged.
Before any damage to the fundamental integrity of the ceiling, we were able to fix the outside chimney leaks after identifying significant water damage behind the lead counter-flashing.
West New York questions
Do you clean dryer vents in high-rise apartments?
Yes, where the vent run can be reached from the unit or from the outside termination. If the vent ties into a shared chase, we work with the building manager.
Our walk-up has one boiler for six units. How often should its chimney be inspected?
Every year, as NFPA 211 recommends. A blocked or damaged boiler flue affects every unit in the building, so it is worth doing before each heating season.
